Would probably be faster if any other programs actually used their newer APIs. I really think burning people with WPF and introducing their shitty store was what many devs drove away. Wasn't really a C# (good language and good APIs in my opinion) guy for too long, but around the time Windows 8 was released, I left for greener pastures and didn't look back very often.

It's just that in the 20 minutes I sometimes have to kill on their computer I went from playing commercial games from my childhood to good solitaire to…bad solitaire. So much for nostalgia.

Once computers (especially windows) became ubiquitous they had to pay for themselves since user training wasn't picking up the bill anymore .
